Results Over Time
PRP hair-loss treatment may help support the scalp environment and weakened hair follicles in patients with early thinning or reduced density.

Mild redness, stinging, or small injection marks may appear. Avoid intense exercise, sauna, and alcohol on the day.
02Week 1
Temporary sensitivity or mild bruising usually improves. Visible density changes are not expected immediately.
03Month 1
The scalp environment begins responding, though visible changes are limited. Continue sessions as planned.
04Months 2–3
Some patients may notice reduced shedding, improved scalp comfort, or subtle changes in hair thickness.
05Months 4+
The ideal time to evaluate visible improvement. Periodic reassessment and maintenance may be discussed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Will one treatment cure my hair loss?
No single treatment cures all hair loss. The dermatologist classifies your hair loss type during consultation, then selects the appropriate combination — drugs, scalp injections, or biostimulators — based on what is actually causing the loss.
Q.Are oral Finasteride and Dutasteride safe?
Both are well studied with extensive long-term safety data. Side effects exist and are reviewed in detail during consultation. Bloodwork is ordered when relevant before prescription, and follow-up is scheduled at 3 and 6 months.
Q.How long until I see results?
Hair grows slowly. Drug therapy typically shows a measurable change in shedding by 3 months and visible density change by 6-12 months. PRP often shows hairline thickening at the 4-6 month mark with the standard 3-session protocol.
Q.Should I do PRP, exosomes, or stem cell injection?
These three are not interchangeable. PRP has the strongest published evidence for androgenetic alopecia. Exosomes and stem cell injection are newer and used as adjuncts. Your dermatologist will sequence them based on diagnosis and treatment goal — not as a fixed package.
Q.Can I start treatment during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. Diagnosis, prescription, and a first PRP or scalp injection can typically be completed in a single visit. Drug therapy continues in your home country with follow-up via teleconsultation as needed.

| Added options | Scalp PRP — the regenerative option with the strongest evidence for pattern hair loss — plus scalp-regeneration and biostimulator protocols layered on when appropriate |
| Timeline | Drug therapy typically shows less shedding by about 3 months and visible density change by 6-12 months. Individual results vary |
| Short visit | Diagnosis, prescription and a first scalp injection can usually be done in one visit, with drug therapy continued at home |
| Category | Drug therapy | PRP | Exosome | Stem-cell scalp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Role | Proven first-line foundation | Regenerative add-on with the strongest evidence | Preliminary adjunct only | Emerging add-on |
| Evidence | Strong RCT evidence (finasteride, minoxidil) | Meta-analyses show increased density (low-to-moderate certainty) | Preliminary; small studies | Limited |
| Regulatory status | FDA-approved drugs (finasteride, minoxidil) | Autologous blood product — no synthetic implant | Cosmetic ingredient — no approved drug | Not an approved drug for hair loss |
| How it is used | Daily, ongoing | 3 sessions about 4 weeks apart, then maintenance | On top of established therapy if pursued | Case-by-case after diagnosis |
